The compact van, which will be available early in the fourth quarter, delivers a slight improvement over the 2014 Nissan NV200 on which it is based. The City Express offers 1 mpg better highway and combined fuel economy.

General Motors is offering the City Express in the LS and LT trim levels. The base LS starts at $22,950. The compact van is powered by a 2.0L inline-4 paired with a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle offers 122.7 cubic feet of cargo volume and a payload capacity of 1,500 pounds.

"The 2015 Chevrolet City Express is designed for our customers who are looking for a small, easy-to-maneuver, fuel-efficient, cargo-carrying vehicle," said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president for GM Fleet & Commercial. "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business."
